Graph wiring perks on/off or breaker switch

[Fhris]

Currently have my livescope, solix and mega 360 from the bow hooked up to a dedicated 16v lithium. I just ran wire from the console for the solix and network hub to go to the 16v instead of it being on the cranking battery. I currently have a 30 amp breaker for the graphs up front. My questions is can I run two power wires to the 30 amp breaker or would it be best to get a on/off perko switch with in line fuses at the battery?

I personally see a need to be able to shut the power to the graphs/accessories off, lightning strike close by while charging "could" fry everything. I use the manual reset breakers from minn kota. Also a good idea to have a switch between the cranking and the electronics battery. If for some reason the 16v has an issue or runs completely down you can switch the electronics system over to the cranker and continue the day.

16v---breaker---1 unit
switch---fuse block---unit
12v---breaker---2 unit

The 30 amp is a manual reset breaker. I think I’ll go with the perko switch and have it wired to switch from 16v to the 12v.

We install a Bluesea 30a breaker reset with a stainless bar attachment direct to battery. Gives you the ability to turn on and off as well as the circuit protection.
See pic for example.

I have two wires going to the 16v dedicated battery. 8awg coming from the bow and 10awg from the console. My initial question is can I put both wires on one 30amp manual reset breaker? Other option is in line fuse for each wire to on/off perko switch. Mainly want to make sure I have the proper fuse size or breaker size.

since both conductors are appropriately protected, amperage wise, it would be permissable to use the 30 amp breaker for both conductors. just make sure the device is protected by a properly sized fuse at the termination end.

I do it the same way, doubles as a mount

I'm good on the wiring, just wondering if you sold the breaker mount bars.

Thats a slick Idea.

Thank you, I have installed 100's of these in local Bass Boats with 0 issues. They are especially great for the bow accessories combined with Bluesea fuse box.

I'd put a dedicated fuse in each line. I use the switchable breakers but even the perko switches I've seen have individual fuses hanging off the switch.
